@Jelial17 I had a chemical peel and laser treatment the end of november. Three weeks later I was still breaking out around my ears, left cheek, chin and nose! I didn t want to go on pills but thought I didn t want to scar my new skin and read about the aldactone and decided it was hormones!! I only being on it 10 days at 50g and noticed already my nose pores are smaller and the breakouts are drying up and no more pimles around my ears!! Im gonna up next week to 75 g.

That’s great!! Well, I’m taking 100 mg daily. It has just been three days so, I think I got to wait more days to start seing changes =D. Are you watchng what you eat? My doctor told me to control myself with foods that contain high potassium levels. Are you using any topical cream? Last year I got two sessions of fraxel laser to remove the scars, it was going pretty good, but I started breaking out again :s. I just gotta be patient.

Im using no topical creams on my face and everything is drying up itself!! I am making my own face wash at home with sour cream or yogurt as a base, cinnamon, fruit and honey and whip it up in the blender.

Hi fancyfarah! I also got 2 laser treatments and after the second one I was fine for about a month or two until I started noticing tiny breakouts around my chin and it got worse from there. I went back to my doctor and gave me aldactone and changed my birth control to diane. I got tired of all that medicine, so I stopped it and started treating my skin with a holistic nutritionist, after 5 months of changing my way of eating and following his instructions my skin has gotten a lot better.

I have also stopped taking the birth control and will get instead the copper IUD. I don’t want to be messing with my hormones any more. Our skin is a reflection of our gut and wit healthy gut you will have a healthy skin. Many doctors say that food has nothing to do with acne, but believe it does! If you want more information feel free to post a comment or email me : jelial17@yahoo.com. I would be more than happy to share infor with you.

I started taking spironlactone which is practically like Aldactone and I’m taking the 50 mg….and I see little results but not like WOW! I think I need 100mg or 125mg. But What kinda really helps me with acne is sea buckthorn…google it, it really helps! but how do you feel on the Aldactone?

Hi! Well, I stopped taking the aldacatone and birth control since the middle of last year. I got tired of going to the doctor and just getting a higher dose. In may of last year, the dermatologist asked me if I would like to continue taking the aldactone because studies had shown that it causes cancer when it’s taken for a long term. I started a treatment with a holistic (functional) nutritionist. I have changed my way of eating, taken some supplements and probiotics to help repair my gut.

Because our gut is the mirror of our skin. The 1st step is to get ride of the candida overgrowth, which is a bad bacteria (but we still needed) that works together with our intestinal flora. The problem starts when the levels of candida exceed the levels of good bacteria (intestinal flora). The 2nd step is to repair the gut, which with lead to have acne-free skin. I would be more than glad to share more info of what I am doing if you would like to. =)

@Jelial17 I know I used to eat organic and went to a nautural doctor, but I got fired from my job so I have no money to buy what I need to becasue my family is not on the same page. But if you don’t mind me asking what kind of stuff do you avoid in your diet?

It really doesn’t cost much if you buy your food at farmers markets, which sometimes it is cheaper than regular stores. As of now I am not eating any refines carbohydrates, no refined sugars, no dairy or fermented food. My fruits are limited to berries and green apples. The reason why is because candida feeds from sugar. The supplements to eradicate the candida overgrowth is called Amazon C-F which doesn’t cost too much, maybe 30 bucks and it last about a month.

I also take probiotics and cod liver oil daily. The probiotics are to help build a stronger intestinal flora. Also try to cook your vegetables, so it would be more easy for your digestion. If you want you can send an email (shantihcoro@gmail.com) to my nutritionist explaining him your situation, he is always willing to help. Another thing is try to avoid vegetable oil and cook with butter and olive oil instead, it is healthier and testier.
